Bhubaneswar: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley has called for urgent reforms in the judiciary, saying the institution has failed in attracting the best talents.
Speaking at the BK Ray Memorial lecture in Bhubaneswar yesterday, Mr Jaitley said fewer people in judiciary are inclined to work as judges because of the increase in the income of lawyers who find commercial litigation in a post-liberalisation India more lucrative.
Mr Jaitley himself is a senior lawyer based in Delhi.
The collegium is a system under which appointments and transfers of judges are decided by a forum of the Chief Justice of India and the four senior-most judges of the Supreme Court.
